SUNDA AFTERNOON
At the Y. M. C. A. -Large tJathrrin
Interesting Exercise?.
There was a large gathering of people
at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, it
being the regular monthly meeting at
which ladies are invited to attend. A
varied and well arranged program had
Veen prepared and it was carried out in
a most scceptable manner.
The address of the evening was by our
townsman, Mr. John Stanly Thomas, re
cently connected with the New York
Trades school, and former secretary ot
the Washington Heigths Y. M. C. A.
The address was about twenty minutes
in length and had a splendid flow of
language and was delivered in his usual
vigorous and forceable style.
All the scats in the large hall were oc
cupied, and ou the spacious plattorm
were mdmb.-rs from the various choirs.
and more spirited and delightful singing
was never heard at one of these meetings.
A number ol special pieces were sung
that were highly complimented.
Messrs. Suitings, Harper, Clark, and
Hartsfield sang "Jerusalem, My Glorious
Home," a very pretty quartet
That popular song "Come," which is
usually sung as a solo was this tiiue rend-
eied us a duet by Misses Stella Roberts
and C'larita Clark, with full choir in the
horus.
wmv one oilier special piece, a luss
solo -'The Beacon Light," by Mr. H. L.
Pay lor, accompanied by Misses Roberta,
and Clark, and W. Koch in the chorus.
It was a pretty air anrt well suug.
Mr. Paylor has been a resident ol New
Berne but a short while, and to the
greafpr portion of the audience, wag
the first time he had been beared in solo.
He has a very deep, lull voice and ad
mirably adapted to pieces medium high
in register.

Three Fihis.
Contrary to the usual order of things
in New Berne, the peace of the commun
ity was hroken by several fights, which
resulted in no great corp ral damage to
eitlier ot the beligerents.
The first was between county clerk W.
M. Watson, and Dr. J. W. Duguid, re
sulting from the application by Mr. Wat
son of language to himself addresse I by
Dr. Daguid to a colored nan. Mr
Watson made the attick. wl-ich ws
pron-ptly met by the Doctor. It ppears
that Mr J. W. Watson came to his fathers
rescne after the affray, but friends pre
vented a collision between these two.
Growing out of Uiis there was auot hrr
set to" ltween Mr. J. W. Watson and
Ferd Ulrich, jr., at the corner of .Middle
and Pollock streets, in which .gain there
was no serious damage done
Down on Middle, there was another
small "bout" between Capt. Ben Wills

This nianalacturing tirm has worked

business is a home enterprise, a go k1 one,
with sound business men at bis head
who have great enterprise tempered with
conservatism. The firm deserves the suc
cess it is attaining, and we bope to see it
continuing to go forward and extending

can equal and often surpass good made
elsewhere and it is well to bear in mind
that to patronize home industries is one ot
the sun-st roads to prosperity in any com

Dr Hyatt's Sanatarnim.
It will le remembered that we recently
gave an ite n about a very difficult opera
tiou being performed at the Smatarhini
of Dr. U. 0. Hyatt, Kinston. The doctor
being assisted in the work by Dr. Chas
Duffy of New Berne. Mr. La Fayette
Dillahuot ( f Jones county, was the pa
tient. The operation was the removal ol
a tumor lrom the under bide of the
sacrum. We commented at the time
that it was well for people to remember
that there is an institution at home which
does away with the necessity of going to a
distance for treatment in difficult cases.
The Kinston Free Press copies what
we had to sny aud adds the following in
favor of the sanitar um, all of w hich we
earnestly endorse :
"The Free Press is pleased to state that
Mr Dillabunt is u'.-tting along nicely
The operation, though a very difficult
one, was very neatly done and w as fully
successful. In addition to the other doc
tors mentioned. Dr. Tnll also assisted in
the operation.
The Free Press believe- that many
people make a mistake in going north to
have surgical operations perlormeil. lu
most cases the work can U- d 'tie just as
well at homer 'in tiict lietter. Ixvause the
opemtion at most large institutions north
are hurried and sometimes proper care is
not taken of the patients, wln-reas h, re
the utmost precautions are taken to avoid
mistakes and the very best of care is given
patients atb : operations are made. It is
lietter. che;i-er and m.ee patriotic to
have such work done here by home
people.

The meetings were held twice a day
for two weeks. Rev. J. T. Jenkins as

and preaching. Ho preaches simply,

A feature of the meeting was the whole
souled manners ith which other christ

Rev. Mr. Bumpiss ,,(' the Methodist
church and his people worked regularly
ill them, and numbers of the best Kpiseo
palions also ( o oper ited In a: til v.
There va 1 .rge attendance from the
beginning ol the meetings but no special
interest was manifested until the sabbath
lollowiug their commencement. The
plan on which they were conducted was
for the christians to work among the un
converted in after meetings.
The interest held to the last Even on
Saturday night the church wis crowded
and it was parked also on the sabbath
to its utmost capacity, although the other
churches were then holding their services.
Seven of those who are to be baptiz
ed next sabbath were received last Sun
day night, the very last meeting held.
At the bitter part of that meeting the
right baud of fellowship was extended by
the other members t those who had l n
baptized that afternoon.
The music during the meetings is well
spoken of. There Were about fifty voices
in the choir. Mr. J. S. Leonard, ol Wil
mington, was the leader in thes part ol
the services.
Mr. Jenkins, was. un'd the 1st of April

We are informed that the twenlv-lour
baptized at Beaufort Sunday was the
largest number ever liaptized there at
one time but we are told that about eight
years ago at Morehead there were thirty
eight baptized at once. They were con
verted in a series of meetings conducted
by Rev. W. T. Joues, a brother-in-law of
Mrs. W. E. Clarke, of New Berne. Mr.
Jones is now jslor of one of the Baptist

Before the Mayor.
Hearing was hid yesterday morning
before Mayor Ellis in the case of th-.' af
fray between Mr. Wm. Waton and Dr.
Jos, W. Duguid, aud in the case of Jos,
W. Watson for assault on M. F. Ulrich.
All three submittal and judgment was
suspended upon payment of cost.
Still another disturbance grew out ot
the affair Sunday night. Mr. Will Wat
sou, jr . pissed Dr. Duguid w ho was
standing on the street hack to him, and
upon recognizing him. he struck hiui on
the side of the head with his walking cane
and then attacked him further. The two
were quickly separated.
The walking cane being considered a
deadly weapon Mr. Watson upon a hear
ing lietore the Mayor w as ii mud over to
the Superior court in ih- suni of ?"( i. Mr.
Watson apologized for the at lack and he
and Dr. Duguid made fiiends.
We arc very glad indeed to see this un
fortunate affair so amicably s-uled and
the parties concerned willing to ieume
their customary fiiendlv relations.

IV AN INCH OF HIS LIFE.
Case of CireuniKtancial Evidence -An
Original Story Written
for the Journal.
; m akachki..
I 1 am a commercial traveller, commonly
j known a a Drummer." I travel in the
interests of Flotsam and .Jetsun. hardware
merchant.- of Diltimore.
In the year 1m .V, I was on the road"
in the eastern suction of North Carolina.
I luid linished up my business in the
N-aiitiful little tow n of "Tarboro" and was
ready to leave next morning on the stage
for R.n-ky Mount, the nearest mil way sta
tion. I had Liken several good orders and
had a sitislied feeling.
After sup.r I t. l-mdi,,,-, ,,f tl.
hotel it there was any place of amusement
eip.-n in town that night. He replied that
ther.- w ould U' a slight-o' mnd perform
ance in u tent one square from the hotel, at
S o'clock.
I was ;w;iy fond of the.se things, and
went around at the appoint.-d hour. At
the entrance, in a transparency, burned a
lamp which brought out in brilliant relief
tho words painted on the cloth: -A
Stotiinlei. Magician." I paid mv quarter
and went in. I found a large crowd of
spectators and was forced to take an ele
vated lsick seat. It proved, as I soon
discovered, to !e one of the liost in the
house for observing the performance.
Mr. Stounder showed himself to U- a
proficient in his work and gave us an ex
ceedingly pleasant entertainment for more
than an hour. But when he came to per
form the trick of catching bullets in his
teeth that were tired at him lrom a pistol,
an unlooked-for incident occurred. Every
one in the tent had given their undivided
attention to the tri.-ks shown on the stage,
except one man. He had evidently lieeu
drinking too much. His applause wa
always more vociferous than any one else's.
He liegan to talk out loud and was di.-s-turbiug
those near him when the bullet
trick came on. lhe report ot the pisto
and the display of the bullet in Mr. Stouii-
uer s mouui exciiea mm. uiuck as
thought be drew a pistol from his pocket
ami. aiming at tne pertormer. .shouted:
I atch this, mister": and fired. The
spectators arose as one man and cried out.
Arrest him !
But I was looking to se if the showman
was hull. He wa.s standing still, on the
stage, with a fare white with rage, gaziri"
eagerly' into the crowd, to find the man
who had lired the last shot. I saw his
eve flash as he caught sight of the drunken
man. With one leap he cleared the space
lietween them and. as his feet struck the
ground, he threw out his right list and
struck the ruffian full in the forehead and
felled him to the earth. For a moment
Stounder stood over the prostrate man and
perceiving that he was more stunned tlian
hurt, be worked his way through the
crowd and mounted bis platform.
Ladies and gentlemen. said he. "there
is no damage done. This man frightened
me and I have shocked him we are even,
if some of you will lie kind enough to call
a policeman and liave the man removed to
the guard house, we will go on with the
performance. There are several curious
and entertaining trick.s which I wish to
show you."
These words were spoken with calm
ness, ease and fluency. There was now
no trace of anger or emotion in his quiet
countenance.
"Go on go on"! resounded from all
parts of the house. Tbe drunken man.
now in a stuper was carried out by a
policeman and quiet reigned again.
Then came a most wonderful display of
ventriloquism. He assumed tbe garb and
appearance of every character wluch he
personated. And the materials at hand
seemed utterly inadequate for his purposes.
One moment he was a nigged Ijeggar be
seecliing alms the next, he was the well
lressed gentleman giving nionev and ad
vice. 1 lie tone ot voice and words were
precisely in itccord with each character.
Anil, right lietore our eyes, he would be
come a school txiy full ot tun and frolic.
pretending to recite a lesson. The next
moment he was the stem pedagogue ad
ministering punishment.
And so on. for an hour, he kept us m
roars of laughter mingled with expressions
of astonishment and wonder. The epi
sode of the drunken man was entirely for-
otten. .last before the conclusion of the
performance, the magician announced tliat
it
anv one wished to learn how he per
formed his tricks, he would teach him at
the rate of $2.50 per trick. He stated tliat
he would be in his room at the hotel, to
accommodate fuch, immediately after the
performance liad closed and would remain
up till 12 o'clock. He said that be would
leave town very early next morning and
this was why he had no other time to give.
Two men sitting near me agreed to go to
the hotel and take lessons in magic. Thev
asked Stounder if he would agree to go to
their rooms in another hotel to give the
lessons. To this be readilv assented.
This ended the evening's entertainment.
It was then half past ten o'clock.
My room was m the same hotel as that
of the magician and adjoining. I retired
as soon as I reached the hotel and, being
wearied in body from my arduous labors
of the day, I soon feel asleep. I was
awakened about half past eleven o'clock
by loutl talking in the room of my
neighbor. Angry words were heard and
then rapid .steps were beard going out of
the room and along the passage. Then
everyting was quiet. I wondered a little
at this but soon fell asleep.
About daylight I was aroused again by
voices in the next room. This time they
were evidently made by porters moving
baggage. These sounds soon ceased and
I slept.
At the breakfast table, that morning,
the talk was entirely about the last even
hag's performance and the coolness he dis
played in the encounter with the drunken
man.
II
Ten months afterwards I was again in
Tarboro. Superior court was in session,
and the ceowd in town was very large. I
asked my landlord the cause. lie replied:
"There is an interesting murder trial go
ing on." Then, looking at me earnestly .
he added, "I believe you were one of my
guests at the time of tle murder."
"I guess not." I answersd, "I never
heard of it before."
"But you were here tliat night." he
said, "for 1 remember tliat you had a
room adjoining the murderer's -tliat ma
gician lellow Stounder.''
Tliis was liexioniing interesting and mys
terious to me. So I begged the landlord
to give me the whole story. He gave me
the following history:
T believe you left town immediately
after breakfast that morning. Well, about
two hours afterwards, news came to town
tliat a man liad been found murdered and
robbed, about fifty feet from the main road
in an obscure cart-path, on the Conetoe
road, about three miles south of town.
The sheriff summoned a posse and the
coroner summoned a jury and at once set
out for the scene. I was one of the coro
ner'sjury." "We found plain evidences
that the man liad been dragged from the
main road into the cart-way and there
murdered. His throat was cut and his
pockets rifled. He was identified as James
W. Broome, a well-to do cotton planter
who lived mar Sparta, on the road to
Greenville. He wys in town the night
of the slighi-of-han 1 performance, and
was there, chunk and disorderly, and I
think he had some words with Stounder
during tha acting of one ot the, tricks.
"It was proved, cm the inquest, that
Stounder was eeii on the main street go
ing towards the river about 12 o'clock
thut night. It was proved also that the
policeman who had Broome in charge
i elcased him by order ot the mayor, on
condition that lie would go straight home.
This he ditl ab ait halt-past eleven o'clock,
riding horseback. He was nearly sober
at that time and fully capable of managing
his horse, which was notably a gemle
one.
My night porter swears that he let
Stounder in that night, at one o'clock.
It is so well known as to need no pro -f
that Uro mie had no enemies and. when
sober. wn notoriously goixl natural.
"Now the only person who had shown
any ill will to Broome was Stounder. He
is a passionate man. as proved by two
gentlemen who took lessons in magic
from him that eight. He had high
words with them at their room in the
other hotel and also here in his room
about half past eleven that same night,
"Stounder says he knows nothing ot
' the murder that his walking out at
